That is an appallingly poorly written article.

Hey, you are still posting? I thought you got washed away by tsunami.

I washed up on a deserted island. I managed to fashion a makeshift computer and satellite receiver from a coconut and seagull beaks.

and he still gets a better connection than i do

I'm guessing there is one more unemployed programmer

Someone on /. posted what the likely programming error was:

23,148,855,308,184,500.00 * 100 (I'm guessing this is how the number is actually stored) is 2314885530818450000. Convert 2314885530818450000 to hexadecimal, and you end up with 20 20 20 20 20 20 12 50. Most C/C++ programmers see the error now ... hex 20 is a space. So spaces were stuffed into a field where binary zero should have been.

Major Deja Vu for me. I know this happened 6mo's or so ago, same type of story, charged at a gas station, etc. I think that last incident was a 1-off though and didn't affect 13K transactions like this one.

I want to go rob his house now. But the $15 safe he is planning to buy will probably only have 4.37 and a half pack of Pall Mall's in it.
